In Ban Khok Wua, 6 km from Phatthalung, lies this center, known for its handcrafted coconut shell products. It's located in a village entirely dedicated to this craft. Spoons, cups, lamps, lampshades – the selection is vast. Unfortunately, the workshops, if any still exist in the center, have recently ceased operation. Therefore, the place now primarily serves as a souvenir shop where you can watch the artisans at work. While the processes are explained with pictures, it's not the same as seeing the craftspeople at work in person. I asked if I could visit another location in the village where coconut shells are still actually being processed, but unfortunately, without success. A pity, that would have been interesting. So, this visit was primarily about shopping, rather than discovering local craftsmanship.

There is no public transport to get there.
